2022-02-17 Booking Class Changes
As previously communicated on January 6, our G booking class has moved to our lowest selling economy cabin retail fare.
In the upcoming month, our N booking class will be a dedicated redemption and upgrade class, and A booking class will move to the Premium Economy cabin, which will provide three dedicated retail selling classes:
O – will remain Premium Economy Flexible
E – will remain Premium Economy Lowest
A – dedicated (replacing N) Premium Economy Lowest
Additionally, effective February 22, customers currently holding A booking class will be re-accommodated into K booking class.

It's good to know that we'll soon be able to search for (or set alerts for) N space to actually find redemption and upgrade space.

So is redemption availability, for those booking from other programs. With Aeroplan, every available seat on AC flights is available, it's just a question of price. So really no difference.

Is there a document or reference somewhere that's up to date on what each booking class code means? I've got Economy Comfort in L on one flight and Economy Comfort in V on my return flight, so what practical difference does that L vs V make when they're both Comfort fares?
It's just hard to parse this thread when you don't know what the original system is before these changes.
